Thousands of LSIs have been tested positive of COVID-19
NIATF to act on request to ban the return of LSIs ROEL T. AMAZONA
TACLOBAN CITY – The resolution calling for the moratorium on the return of locally stranded individuals (LSIs)to the region is expected to be tackled by the National Inter-Agency Task Force (NIATF). This was declared by Interior Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya during a television interview aired over government-controlled PTV-4 on Monday(Sept.21). Malaya was referring to a joint resolution approved both by the Regional Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID)and the Regional Task Force (RTF) on COVID-19 to temporary ban the return of the LSIs amid the ballooning COVID-19 cases of the region. Last week, for example, the regional office of the Department of Health disclosed that about 1,551 LSIs have so far acquired the dreaded virus. “The request of the lo-
cal chief executives is now with the IATF sub-task group on locally stranded individuals and this will be forwarded to the NIATF and the decision will be announced by the chairman either by Health Sec. Francisco Duque III or Cabinet Sec. Karlo Nograles,” Malaya said. Last August 25, the two regional bodies passed a resolution calling for the moratorium on the return of the LSIs to the region for the entire month of September. “Once a decision is made, this will be announced immediately but most of the time they do grant requests from the LGUs,” Malaya said. While the NAITF has yet to act on the call to ban

The seized items include 34 kilos of Tri-Nitro Toluene (TNT), 25,000 pieces blasting caps, and 3.5 meters of detonating cord with an estimated market value of P3.5 million, according to the press statement from the Northern Samar Police Provincial Office (NSPPO).
Police Superintendent Arnel Apud, police provincial director, said the recovered items are the primary components in making improvised dynamite allegedly used in illegal fishing. The explosives were discovered at a mountainous area in Barangay Burabod in the said town during a joint operation of NSPPO personnel, the San Antonio Municipal Police Station, First Northern Samar Provincial Mobile Force Company (1NSPMFC), Northern Samar Explosive Ordnance and Canine Unit (NSEOCU), Northern
Samar Crime Laboratory Office and the Philippine Coast Guard. The police scoured the area after a big explosion transpired in the island on September 17 which injured a man identified as 22-year old Reymart Turing. The owners of the explosive materials are yet to be identified. “What is more significant is the fact that we were able to seize P3.5 million worth of explosives that could be possi-

Tacloban council to summon health execs to get clarification on COVID-19 status of the city T A C L O B A N CITY-Members of the Sangguniang Panglungsod of this city will summon health officials during their regular session this Wednesday (Sept.23) amid report that not all close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 patients are being swabbed. This was disclosed by Vice Mayor Jerry ‘Sambo’ Yaokasin who said that he has received information that there were several close contacts of confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patient who were not extracted of their samples. This practice, he said, could be the reason why the COVID-19 cases of the city appears to be declining. “If we want to break
the chain of transmission it is important (that swab test is) on time, no delay, and those who should be tested must be tested and not because you are not showing symptoms, we will assume that after two weeks that person had already recovered,” Yaokasin, who is the presiding officer of the city council, said. Yaokasin said that as far as he knows, the city has no shortage on testing kits but rather on vials where the swab samples are carefully placed before these are sent to Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC) for confirmatory test. Due to this problem, there are families with infected individuals where only one member is subjected for swab sample

“PSA-8 upholds bayanihan and is one with the rest of the world in helping contain any possible COVID-19 case. It adheres to LGU directives and no enumerators are allowed to enter any barangay placed under localized lockdown. Clearance to conduct the interview will be sought from the barangay chairperson before proceeding to the enumeration area,” Perante said. The PSA enumerator from Tolosa is a wife of a COVID-19 patient. She, however, was tested negative based on the rapid test conducted on her last Sept.16. But as part of the protocol, she and the rest of her family was placed under home quarantine. Their barangay was also placed under lockdown. Perante assures the public that it continuously monitors the situation of all deployed enumerators across the region. “More so now that the situation is different and governed by stringent health and safety measures brought by COVID-19 pandemic,” she said.

Rebirth of a tourist spot

Indeed, the citizens of this country have been tired of too much politics, fed up with promises that bring no results, and discontented with decades of status quo that has been wallowing in poverty, corruption, criminalities, and other ills. They want to see these abolished if not mitigated; they yearn for action with tangible results; they no longer trust nice words and decent appearances of showing off leaders armed with traditional politics.

Discrimination I nearly lost my temper as I browsed these online English teaching jobs, mostly from our neighboring Asian countries. You know, just to look for possibilities at augmenting our income this pandemic season. These jobs are popular among Filipinos nowadays, so I thought of trying my luck in this field.
The bulk of demand for English teachers immediately caught my attention as coming from China, followed by Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and some others. So many offers for said job are available, not just online, but even in actual workplaces—in those countries, that is. Salaries differ from country to
Certainly, people did not crowd the area for reasons of viewing a beautiful beach—they can go elsewhere for the purpose and be more satisfied; or they can google and view the far more attractive beaches worldwide using their PC’s or laptops. They must have gone there not with the aim of comparing the new Manila Bay with Boracay, or with El Nido, but with its old imagery in mind, to glimpse up close how magical it was transformed. The critical darts raining on this beautification effort could not stop the people’s eagerness to see genuine changes. Political propagandas cannot prevail against such desire. Even the dreaded pandemic saw for itself a fierce defiance from people who could not imagine such a filthy place that had been abandoned for decades could assume a paradisiac view, which they can only credit to the present regime’s resolve to make things happen for the better. country, of course, given monthly or twice-a-month for in-school teaching jobs, and per hour for online work. As I endeavored to choose which ones to apply to, however, I noticed that most if not all of those teaching positions require native English speakers for applicants. This means that only teachers from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the like are accepted. English teachers from other nationalities such as Filipinos are hardly welcome, except in Japan, which luckily accommodates Filipino English teachers in their school platforms like Bizmates, RareJob, Native Camp, etc. But since numerous Filipino applicants are seeking to teach in here, you could
hardly even book an interview. Back to other countries, especially China. Somehow, I discovered that they do accommodate Filipino English teachers, but not in strategic places, and with very low salary compared to that of native English speakers. For online classes, it’s the same, they have limited offers for Pinoy applicants, and then again, the pay is too low. Consider, for example, how the salaries differ. For online teachers who are English native speakers, the least that they give is 12 US dollars per hour, and could reach as high as 25 to 30. But for Filipinos, it’s just 3 dollars or less per hour. So they hardly hire

His response to me was silence. “Why do you seem to discriminate Filipino English teachers?” I asked. “Don’t you know that our grammar is even better off than that of selected native speakers such as the black Americans? Why, we Filipinos are very particular with grammar. We are fond of correcting one another’s errors. We even tend to correct the grammar of native speakers, at times.” That employer did not respond. I think he must have cut off our chat right away. I figure he didn’t understand what I mean, not knowing the difference between correct and erroneous English grammar in the first place. What is certain is that, they have so much trust for native speakers, and so much discrimination against non-native speakers of English like us, Filipinos. What an unfair job treatment.

To slow down COVID-19 cases, no home quarantine in Leyte, says Gov. Petilla PALO, Leyte – Local government units in Leyte does not practice home quarantine for individuals who are tested with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This was stressed by Governor Leopoldo Dominico Petilla who said that all COVID-19 patients in the province are placed in isolation facilities put up by the local government units. By not placing COVID-19 patients at their homes would help stop the transmission of the dreaded disease, the governor said. Petilla explained that it
is easier to monitor the patient in a city or municipal quarantine facilities compared to home quarantine. He added that the patient can get out of the home without the knowledge of the authorities and go to anywhere he wants thereby spreading the virus especially in public places. The governor said that the local government officials were also instructed to subject anyone in their localities to testing who exhibits flu-like symptoms, regardless of age and travel history. Petilla added that the local authorities should
immediately inform their rural health units or city health office and request for a rapid test or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. He also said that those who are exhibiting flu-like symptoms may also seek help with their local health authorities for coordination with the provincial and district hospitals for the examinations. As of September 21, Leyte, with the exception of Tacloban and Ormoc cities, as 1,327 COVID-19 confirmed cases with 11 deaths.

Biliran province. To recall the MV Gulf 1, a Panamanian registered cargo vessel with 43 crew members who are mostly Filipinos, and bound for Jintang, China, sank off the coast of Japan after reportedly losing an engine after it encountered rough seas caused by a typhoon (international name: Maysak) last September 2. Garcia said that she only learned that the vessel, carrying 6,000 live cows from New Zealand, where her husband of 16 years was on board met a sea accident through social media. She recalled that the last time she had a video call with her husband was a day before the incident happened. “I was expecting him to call the following day as he usually do. We waited for his call the entire day only
to learn through social media that the vessel has capsized,” she said. However, on that day that he called her, he said that they were already experiencing the brunt of the typhoon and in fact, things inside the vessel were in already disarray and his feet was hit by a chair and some of its glasses were shattered due to the strong waves and heavy rains spawned by the typhoon. It was learned that Rex has been a seafarer since 2012 and boarded the ship anew just last July 23 of this year. (JOEY A. GABIETA)

Garcia is also seeking help from China, Taiwan, and South Korea saying that her husband and other crew members of the ill-fated ship could have been carried away to their shores by the storm.

Phase II of the P24.2M Mapuyo to Palayan farm-to-market road construction in Biliran kicks off NAVAL, Biliran-The Department of Public Works and Highways - Biliran District Engineering Office (DPWH-BDEO) has started the construction of the P24.2 million Mapuyo to Palayan ng Bayan Farm to Market Road (FMR) project in Barangay Mapuyo in Kawayan town, this province. District Engineer David P. Adongay Jr. said that this is already the second phase of the project which includes the road opening and concreting of a 1-kilometer two lane road including drainage and slope protection.
From its start date on August 17, 2020, this project is target to be completed on March 04, 2021. According to Adongay, BDEO has already completed phase 1 of the project in 2016 which includes the road opening and concreting of 783-meter two lane road in Brgy. Mapuyo amounting to P9.8 million. “This road project aims to connect Brgy. Mapuyo in Kawayan town to Palayan ng Bayan in Brgy. Caucab in Almeria town,” he said. Engr. Rosario B. Rosete, chief of planning and design section, revealed that around 4-kilometer road is
still needed to concrete to connect the two towns. The said project is implemented under its local infrastructure program in convergence with the Department of Agriculture (D.A). Sitio Palayan in Caucab in Almeria town is found at the foot of Mount Panamao and is abundant with abaca and “palay” thus, derived the name “Palayan ng Bayan,” as rice terraces were carved in the mountains. The completion of this project will provide a safe, convenience and faster mobility of agricultural products to the nearby towns. (PR)

I will talk to our regional directors to take a look at this and find a different system for HUCs,” Malaya said. Malaya added that he will also inform the Inter-Agency Task Force of this suggestion of Mayor Romualdez. The city government has enforced its own QR Code dubbed as surveillance, contact tracing, analysis, and networking (SCAN) system starting on July 16. SCAN is a digital plat-
form for COVID-19 surveillance activities for the systematic collection, analysis, storage, and dissemination of information, specifically the name, address, and contact details of the registrant so that public health officers can use the same for immediate responses. Those who want to enter Tacloban must register online through its Safe City application that can be downloaded for free at https://safecity.tacloban. gov.ph/ or by filling out the registration forms at the village where the person resides and at the border control points for non-residents entering the city.

Buracan NHS conducted a dry-run on the Modular Distance Learning Modality
BY: JANELLE SHIAN P. MERCADO Due to this pandemic, we are now facing the new normal in education wherein face-to-face classes are not allowed. Series of adjustments had been made especially by the Department of Education (DepEd). Modular distance learning was chosen by the majority of the parents of Buracan National High School. Therefore, a dry-run was initiated to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the modular distance learning modality. The respondent was a Grade 9 student and her parent from Brgy. Piliway, La Paz, Leyte last September 17, 2020. The activity started at the Buracan National High School wherein the subject teachers sorted their modules. While disinfecting the modules, the teacher-incharge of the barangay contacted the focal person and the parent-driver informing the arrival of the modules. The adviser collected the modules and

We have specific funds for COVID-19 response but this doesn’t mean that we should not continue funding our road projects. How are we going to respond if there is an emergency,” she said.

Pamana has also funded a road project in San Jose de Buan town which is rendered isolated to the rest

Bonifacio added that aside from transporting patients to medical facility, road network is also important in this time of pandemic due to on-going constructions of isolation and quarantine facilities as part of COVID-19 response. Without road, bringing construction materials will be hard for the project to start, she said. Bonifacio added that even without pandemic, road is important in bringing services and delivery of farm produce to the markets. Bonifacio then ask ev-
eryone to acknowledge and recognize the effort that the government is doing for the residents living in remote barangays. Since 2011, the national government has downloaded more than P4.8 billion to the region for funding various infrastructure projects undertaken by Pamana. At present, there are four on-going road construction projects of the agency which includes the Motiong (Samar)-Silvino Lobos (Northern Samar) road and 14 other multiyear implementation project which includes a bridge in Silvino Lobos.
